The UK Telegraph reports that a US Military report commissioned by the

Defense Intelligence Agency, found that " great progress has been made "

in

neuroscience over the last decade, and that continuing advances offered

the

prospect of a dramatic impact on military equipment and the way in

which

wars are fought.

The report suggests that that future wars will utilize " pharmacological

landmines " which release brain-altering chemicals to incapacitate

soldiers

upon their contact with them, scanners reading soldiers' minds and

devices

boosting eyesight and hearing could all figure in military arsenals.

Research into " distributed human-machine systems " , including robots and

military hardware controlled by an operator's mind, is another

particular

area for optimism among researchers, according to the report. It says

significant progress has already been made and that prospects for use

of the

field are " limited only by the creative imagination. "

The report also explains that " the concept of torture could be

transformed

in the future. "

" It is possible that some day there could be a technique developed to

extract information from a prisoner that does not have any lasting side

effects. "

Does this line of " medical research " give anyone pause?

Who are the human guinea pigs on whom these " pharmacological landmines "

are

/ were tested?

Discomforting reminder about the nature of Nazi medical

experimentation:

The debasement of American medicine is terrifying as it rapidly

descends

along the blueprint of Nazi medicine whose unethical medical

experimentation

during the Third Reich may be divided into three categories:

The FIRST CATEGORY consists of experiments aimed at facilitating the

survival of Axis military personnel.

In Dachau, physicians from the German air force and from the German

Experimental Institution for Aviation conducted high-altitude

experiments,

using a low-pressure chamber, to determine the maximum altitude from

which

crews of damaged aircraft could parachute to safety.

Scientists there carried out so-called freezing experiments using

prisoners

to find an effective treatment for hypothermia. They also used

prisoners to

test various methods of making seawater potable.

The SECOND CATEGORY of experimentation aimed at developing and testing

pharmaceuticals and treatment methods for injuries and illnesses which

German military and occupation personnel encountered in the field.

At the German concentration camps of Sachsenhausen, Dachau, Natzweiler,

Buchenwald, and Neuengamme, scientists tested immunization compounds

and

sera for the prevention and treatment of contagious diseases, including

malaria, typhus, tuberculosis, typhoid fever, yellow fever, and

infectious

hepatitis. The Ravensbrueck camp was the site of bone-grafting

experiments

and experiments to test the efficacy of newly developed sulfa

(sulfanilamide) drugs. At Natzweiler and Sachsenhausen, prisoners were

subjected to phosgene and mustard gas in order to test possible

antidotes.

The THIRD CATEGORY of medical experimentation sought to advance the

racial

and ideological tenets of the Nazi worldview.

Future wars 'to be fought with mind drugs'

Future wars could see opponents attacking each other's minds, according

to a

report for the US military.

By Jon Swaine

14 Aug 2008

Landmines releasing brain-altering chemicals, scanners reading

soldiers'

minds and devices boosting eyesight and hearing could all one figure in

arsenals, suggests the study.

Sophisticated drugs, designed for dementia patients but also allowing

troops

to stay awake and alert for several days are expected to be developed,

according to the report. It is thought that some US soldiers are

already

taking drugs prescribed for narcolepsy in an attempt to combat fatigue.

As well as those physically and mentally boosting one's own troops,

substances could also be developed to deplete an opponents' forces, it

says.

" How can we disrupt the enemy's motivation to fight? " It asks. " Is

there a

way to make the enemy obey our commands? " Research shows that " drugs

can be

utilized to achieve abnormal, diseased, or disordered psychology " among

one's enemy, it concludes.

Research is particularly encouraging in the area of functional

neuroimaging,

or understanding the relationships between brain activity and actions,

the

report says, raising hopes that scanners able to read the intentions or

memories of soldiers could soon be developed.

Some military chiefs and law enforcement officials hope that a new

generation of polygraphs, or lie detectors, which spot lie-telling by

observing changes in brain activity, can be built.

" Pharmacological landmines, " which release drugs to incapacitate

soldiers

upon their contact with them, could also be developed, according to the

report's authors.

The report, which was commissioned by the Defense Intelligence Agency,

contained the work of scientists asked to examine how better

understanding

of how the human mind works was likely to affect the development of

technology.

It finds that " great progress has been made " in neuroscience over the

last

decade, and that continuing advances offered the prospect of a dramatic

impact on military equipment and the way in which wars are fought.

It also explains that the concept of torture could be transformed in

the

future. " It is possible that some day there could be a technique

developed

to extract information from a prisoner that does not have any lasting

side

effects, " it states. One technique being developed involves the

delivery of

electrical pulses into a suspect's brain and delay their ability to lie

by

interfering with its neurons.

Research into " distributed human-machine systems " , including robots and

military hardware controlled by an operator's mind, is another

particular

area for optimism among researchers, according to the report. It says

significant progress has already been made and that prospects for use

of the

field are " limited only by the creative imagination. "

Moreno, a bioethicist and the author of 'Mind Wars: Brain

Research

and National Defense', said " It's too early to know which, if any, of

these

technologies is going to be practical. But it's important for us to get

ahead of the curve. Soldiers are always on the cutting edge of new

technologies. "
